01/Responsibilities

Data Nexus is looking for a Product Architect to work inside the company, shaping and evolving complex SaaS, transactional platforms, and data-driven systems.

This is not a UI role and not a classic product manager position.

You will operate at the intersection of:

  • product architecture

  • system logic

  • UX structure

  • data and business constraints

Your responsibility is to design products as systems, not as collections of features or screens.


Key Responsibilty
  • Design end-to-end product architecture for complex SaaS platforms

  • Translate business requirements into coherent system models (flows, states, entities)

  • Define core transaction models, invariants, and interaction logic

  • Work with designers to ensure state-driven UX, not screen-driven layouts

  • Collaborate with engineering on:


    • system decomposition

    • scalability decisions

    • data flow and persistence logic


  • Identify and reduce product and architectural complexity

  • Audit existing products and platforms:


    • detect structural weaknesses

    • propose architectural refactors


  • Support crisis and recovery scenarios (data loss, legacy systems, scale issues)

  • Participate in strategic decisions:


    • platform vs product

    • build vs refactor

    • MVP vs system investment



02/Minimum qualifications


  • Strong experience designing complex digital products (SaaS, platforms, marketplaces)

  • Ability to think in:


    • systems

    • states

    • flows

    • constraints


  • Deep understanding of product architecture, not only UX or PM practices

  • Experience working with:


    • engineers

    • designers

    • data / analytics teams


  • Ability to decompose complexity and rebuild clarity

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and high-stakes scenarios

  • Clear written and verbal communication (English required)


03/Preferred qualifications


  • 5+ years working on complex digital products

  • Direct involvement in at least one of the following:


    • large-scale SaaS

    • transactional platforms

    • data-heavy systems

    • system rebuilds or migrations


  • Experience with:


    • product discovery under constraints

    • scaling products beyond MVP

    • refactoring legacy or overgrown systems

Desired / Nice-to-Have Experience
  • Background in:


    • system design

    • engineering

    • data architecture


  • Experience with:


    • e-commerce or fintech platforms

    • pricing, payments, or transactional logic

    • analytics-driven product decisions


  • Exposure to MENA / UAE digital markets

  • Experience working with Telegram WebApps or constrained environments

  • Ability to articulate product decisions to founders and executives
